If you're having trouble accessing the forums, go ahead and run a traceroute to forum.pitofwar.com by following the instructions in the following article based on which OS you are using:

Be sure to not use proxies and once you've run the traceroute, copy the output and send it to me in a PM.

Good luck in the Pit!
